Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is transforming the treatment of periodontal intrabony defects by enhancing bone regeneration and supporting the healing of the periodontal ligament and cementum. Backed by meta-analyses and clinical trials, PRF,…
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is redefining post-op recovery by boosting tissue regeneration, reducing complications, and supporting bone growth. Its natural healing power makes it a game-changer for extractions and grafting procedures.
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is showing promise as both a standalone and adjunctive material in sinus augmentation. Research points to its potential to accelerate healing, improve bone formation, and reduce residual graft material.
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) accelerates tissue healing by delivering a powerful blend of natural growth factors right where they’re needed most. By enhancing every phase of wound repair, from clotting to remodeling, PRF is transforming…
Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) enhances wound healing and tissue regeneration using a patient’s own blood. Unlike earlier platelet concentrates, PRF is easy to prepare, requires no additives, and offers a sustained release of growth factors for…
Due to the technique's high success rate, dental implant therapy is an increasingly popular option to replace missing teeth. As is the case in all dental procedures, dental implants are not risk free.
